Some people see 12.7mm anti-aircraft gun and automatically believe it's over..even though rhey dont have a clue what a 12.7mm gun is.
Boko Haram commander Abubakar Shekau and his deputy nut jobs with 12.7mm "Dushka's" 2014.
2015. Chadian troops intercept a transfer of 12.7mm Dushkas from ISIS to Boko Haram.
2017 Boko Vehicles with 12.7mm Dushkas destroyed by NAF airstrikes.
2018 ISWAP fighters engage Nigerian troops in a gun duel with 12.7mm Dishka mounted gun trucks.
2019 Nigerian troops recorver 12.7mm Dushkas from insurgents.
2021 ISWAP insurgents with 12.7mm Dushkas planning their next attack.
Both sided have been using the Dushkas for a decade. Its not a new or novel weapon. Besides if Boko Haram wanted to hit aircafts the Dushka will be a terrible choice.
They are better off with the ZSU 3pple A guns...even at that they stand no chance in hell of being in a position to hit civilian aircafts much less the Presidential plane taking off and landing hundreds of miles away from the northeast.
Its almost impossible for a civilian to gain close enough access to the Presidential plane much less insurgents. Sadly some Nigerians are not interested in facts. They seek what tickles their ears and what appeals to their emotion..anything to vent their frustration
..and if you counter these FAKE news with FACTS they get angry at you for supporting" a tyrant. And this is not peculiar to Nigerians. People the world over want drama and controversy..for Nigerians people need an excuse to scream "I told you so".
